COlOred Man Dangerously Wounded
The shooter Arrested.

Last night about 9:3O o'clock a young colored
man named Samuel McKeever, who lives In Shows
alley, between cath and 18th, and NJ and streets,
was shot in the right side and dangerously injured
by companion, named Samuel Jennings. Some
time ago Jennings gave McKeever a silk hat in ex-
change for pair OF shoes, and last night he went
to the latters house TO get his silk hat back and tt
is said he also wanted to keep the shoes McKeever
refused to give up the hat, and, in order to avoid
any trouble with jennings he started to go out
through the back gate OF the premises when, it is
alleged, Jennings drew his revolver and fired.
Officers keefe and Maddox heard the report, and
going 70 Mckeevers yard found him PROSTATE
from the effects OF wound in the SIDE and carried
him into the house and sent for DR.. Bishop. The
physician probed for the ball. but failed to find 1t,
and was unable to tell exactly the extent of the
wounded mans injuries. After the shooting Jen-
nings started towards the river, II intending to
so To Alexandria, but changing his mind he re-
turned TO Shows alley, where he was found Sc
creted In a house about O'Clock this morning. He
admitted the shooting, and said he had thrown
the revolver Into the river. When found in the
house by Officer Rodgers he said he did not mind
being arrested. but did object TO being taken from
bed so early in the morning. This morning
The defendant was Gaken TO the Police Court,
where charge OF assault and battery with intent
10 Kill against him was continued indefinitely on
account OF the serious condition Of Mckeeyer.

THE BOARD OF REGENTS BEGIN THEIR ANNUAL SESSION.
The board OF regents of the Ladies' Mount YER
non Association, began their annual meeting at
Mount Vernon yesterday, holding session In the
morning before the arrival Of the steamer from
Washington, at which the minutes OF the last
session were read. In the afternoon after the
visitors for the day had left the grounds to
return TO the city, the address OF the regent
Mrs. Lily L. McAllister Laughton, and the re-
ports OF the various officers and OF Superintend-
ent Dodge the ladies made an inspection
OF the mansion and grounds, and expressed
pleasure at their excellent condition. The fol-
lowing vice regents arrived yesterday: Mrs. 2. T.
Letter, OF Illinois; Mrs. Chase. of Rhode Island;
and Mrs. Pickens, OF South Carolina. The Illinois
room, under the direction or Mrs. Letter, and
through her exerttons has been fitted up, and
forms one OF the attractions Of the mansion. The
sessions will last several days. and meanwhile, as
is their custom, the ladies will make their home
at the old mansion. Ap.Ong the visitors yesterday
was Mr.. Samuei LongfellOw. brother OF the poet.
Miss LOngfellOw, the poets daughter, is member
OF the board OF regents. Mrs. LaughtOn, the re-
gent, said yesterday in relation to the suggestion
that marble vault be constructed to take the
place OF the old tomb in which tie body OF WASH
ington rests, that Gen. Washington had directed
in hts will that he should be entOmbed in a brick
vault, which direction would prevent them from
changing the character Of the structure. Some
years ago the Masonic fraternity made an offer to
erect handsome and costly structure in place OF
the brick vault, but the clause in the will pre-
vented compliance with this prOffer.

SAMUEL VANCE DISAPPEARS-FEAHS OF FOUL PLAY.
From the Rockville Sentinel, to-day.
Since Tuesday of last week Mr.. Samuel Vance,
who has been residing on the Old Marchant
Ricketts, farm, at Derwood, since he lately pur-
chased it, has been missing from his home, where
his family has been waiting his return with mex
pressible solicitude. He LETT home in the morning
with the purpose of going to Queenstown cattle
yards to purchase COW. He was to drive the
COW home over what Is known as the City Road,
and in the evening an employe on the farm went
over the road as far as VeirS mill to meet Mr..
Vance and assist driving the COW. He waited
until dark and his employer did not make his ap-
pearance. Mrs Vance started him the next MORN
ing TO Washington in search OF her husband.
He reported TO her after searching the city
that he was unable to find her husband, but
was informed by Mr.. JOS X. Rabbit that
Mr.. Vance was in his restaurant the day
before with stranger, who seemed to have
plenty OF money. He did not so inform Mrs. Vance,
drowned there the day before his search for Vance,
and the body OF whom had not been discovered.
NeighbOrS OF Mrs. Vance have searched the city,
but without avail. How much money MI. Vance
had In his possession is not known. Returning
home the way that he had intended, he would be
compelled to pass over the road from which Havi-
land disappeared and upon which MIR. RObt. Albert
was recently attacked by four negro men. 1t is
feared that he has been rOully dealt WITH or other
wise he would have returned before this as he is
of correct and n1ethOdical habits. He is man OF
stout build about forty years OF age light cOlOred
muStache and hair.
